Judith Penak Couture

Judith was a joy to work with in the visualisation, and creation, of my simplistic wedding gown. From the beginning she listened and understood my vision for a clean-lined design, focusing on the cut, fit and fall of the gown, became key focal points for Judith. As she said, simple can be harder as attention is in the finer details. Judith was a true professional throughout the entire process and helped tweak my gown until it was perfect. I would highly recommend her team and the skills in dressmaking that Judith holds.
Thank you again, Judith.

Judith created my stunning mother of the bride dress!! I received so many compliments on the day!! Just can't thank you enough for persevering with completing the dress, even while your husband was very ill.
Very grateful

I came to Judith with quite an unusual and difficult request. My grandmother's wedding dress, which she wore in 1968 was handed down and altered by my mother for her wedding in 1989 and now I wanted to alter the same dress for my wedding next year. Due to the intricacies or preserving part of the old gown, adding new parts and altering a dress that had already been altered, it would be no easy task. But Judith was amazing and definitely up to the challenge. She worked with me the whole way through and was able to make what was in my head come to life and improve it with her own insights and design. I am so happy with the final product, she was able to use part of the old lace sleeves to create a new lace pattern on the bodice and she absolutely nailed the look of what I wanted. We were also still able to preserve the character of the dress including some of the 1989 features and make something that is now, as Judith put it, an heirloom and historical piece. It has been such a pleasure working with Judith, she is so creative and skilled at what she does and so accommodating. She really tries to understand my preferences and vision and was also happy to make changes so I could be happy with it (even though these changes were inconvenient and challenging extra work). I can't wait to wear the dress next year and I am so grateful that I had Judith remake it into the masterpiece it is now. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get a dress made, she was able to make a beautiful, bespoke and unique dress, make it look modernised but also preserve the heritage and character of the piece. She was also so lovely to be around and passionate about the task and what it means to the family so it was a joy and privilege to have her as part of the journey.

I got my wedding dress made by Judith and June and have to say it turned out exactly as I imagined it would, so beautifully made and perfectly crafted. Judith is an amazing artist and I would recommend her for any work. Any future brides looking for a couturier, have faith that Judith will make you the dress of your dreams. My wedding is in 5 weeks so I can't wait to wear it then! I felt like a priority with Judith and she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful during the entire process.

Judith and her team is just terrific! I was in an extremely tight time frame for my dress since I couldn't find a beautiful jumpsuit/ dress for my wedding and was internally panicking. d'Italia referred me to Judith who picked up on my desired design and was excited to work with me straight away. Judith was so professional, never appeared rushed or troubled despite the super tight timeline, always honoured my wishes, is always happy with every appointment and very easy to work with. Clearly someone who's passionate about their craft! In the end we were able to make a jumpsuit with a detachable skirt which was my dream 😊 - they even included a veil for me. Thank you Judith & team!

Judith was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly collaborative, thorough and kind. It is so clear that she has such passion for what she does and it made every consultation a positive one. I am in love with the dress that she and her team have created and I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Judith to any bride to be!

Judith is truly an expert! She did a fantastic job creating my wedding dress. The entire experience was really enjoyable! The dress was a perfect fit and beautifully designed. Highly recommend!

Judith was absolutely amazing. She was open to all of my suggestions and helped me create a one of a kind, unique wedding dress that exceeded all of my expectations. I would highly recommend her for any special dress.

Judith helped me create my dream wedding dress. I had different elements from different dresses I had tried on and she brought my vision to life. Judith has been fun, professional, flexible and accommodating. She listened but also gave great suggestions and has great attention to detail. Overall, a very enjoyable and stress-free process! I can’t wait to wear my gown in a few weeks’ time!! Thank you so much Judith.

Judith was so lovely to work with throughout the process of making my dream bridal dress! I came to her with a specific design I had in mind which I absolutely loved the look of but had reservations because I have a different body type to the model. Judith listened to me, heard my needs and wants and she was able to help me make design decisions that made sure my bridal dress not only meets the idea/vibe that I wanted but that it was perfectly fitted to me, and hence SO flattering on me. The whole process was clear, straightforward and stress-free because Judith talked me through everything she was doing and explained her decisions every step of the way. Would highly, highly recommend this fairy godmother especially for brides-to-be who want a more cost-effective (and tailored) way of getting their dream designer dresses - and looking a million bucks on their wedding day!

Judith has been a blessing to me. Treated me with so much caring, made me feel special at all times, really paid attention to what I was after and designed the most stunning wedding dress for me and within my budget. I couldn’t recommend Judith enough ♥

I recently got my wedding dress made by Judith. It’s an overall great experience. Judith is someone who is so passionate about her job which made the whole process really exciting. Judith was always able to give me both professional and creative suggestions that made everything easier for me to decide how the dress should look.
Judith is also a very skilful designer and I am pretty sure she is able to accommodate all of your needs.
I would highly recommend her!

Judith did a wonderful job on the alterations of my wedding dress in January 2023. She was easy to work with and completed the alternations in a very short time frame. She was also a huge assistance when there was an issue with one of the buttons the week of my wedding - despite this being an issue with the original dress maker - she promptly fixed the broken button without charge. I couldn't recommend her more!

Judith was absolutely fantastic! I took my wedding dress to Judith to be altered and she did an amazing job! She was extremely professional, helpful and made me feel very comfortable. She provided me with high quality alterations and I am so pleased with me dress. Would highly recommend!!

Such a beautiful experience having Judith create my dream wedding dress! Being half way through my pregnancy, it was such a dream being able to create exactly what I wanted with my bump, down to every little detail. Worked within my super short timeframe as well which i’m very grateful for. Xx

It was a pleasure to work with Judith to create my wedding dress. Her attention to detail and ability to translate my ideas into magic dress design reality were truly impressive. My dress fitted me like a glove and made me feel amazing. I highly recommend working with Judith 👏😊

Judith made me a dress for my daughter's wedding and I am delighted with the result.
In discussions about design, it was like chatting with a friend but also a very professional experience . Judith has a passion for her work and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services for that special design
